Tasks created on iPhone appear on iPad too. [The 4 Quadrants] I. Urgent x Important -> Do now II. Important x Not urgent -> Plan (the most important) III. Urgent x Not important -> Delegate IV. Neither -> Drop [Premium plan] - The free plan allows up to 10 active tasks. Premium lifts this limit. - Google Calendar sync is also Premium-only. (Auto-renewing subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: QuadTask at none against Spaces's shown. QuadTask also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
